Purpose: To determine the effect of various factors on the rate of reaction between an enzyme andits substrate‚ and also to determine the optimal ranges under which the enzyme activity ismaximized. Also to determine whether saline and alcohol are inhibitors or activators Hypothesis: PH factor prediction: I predict that as the pH increases so the activity of the enzyme willincrease until it reaches optimum pH range (pH 7) because the enzyme is less denaturedwhen it reaches the preferred pH level

Heart Rate Vs. Exercise & Gender Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to find out whether males or females of the same fitness levels had a higher increase in heart rate after performing the same exercise in the same amount of time. The hypothesis was that‚ with the same levels of fitness‚ females would have a higher heart rate. The main reason that this hypothesis was thought to be viable‚ was because females generally have higher heart rates than males due to their smaller heart size

A Relationship Between Body Temperature and Heart Rate? Statement of Research Question: This study sets out to determine whether there exists a difference in the average body temperature between males and females. Furthermore‚ the study aims to determine whether an increase in heart rate corresponds with an increase in body temperature. Data Collection: The data was obtained from the article “What’s Normal? -- Temperature‚ Gender‚ and Heart Rate” (Shoemaker‚ Allen 1996) as found in the Journal

“Kinetics of Ethanol Oxidation” laboratory experiment utilized Beer’s law and spectroscopy to monitor concentration and the rate of ethanol oxidation through the LoggerPro System. This data then helped determine the kinetic rate constant‚ k‚ and the order of the reaction. First‚ the wavelength of maximum absorbance was determined using the LoggerPro interface and a Vernier colorimeter. Beer’s law was then used to determine the molar absorptivity. Finally‚ a kinetic study of ethanol oxidation was

In this experiment‚ I am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. I predict the higher the temperature‚ the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat that is given to matter‚ the faster the particles move. This happens in the acid‚ so the faster the particles move‚ the faster the reaction rate due to more collisions between the marble chips and the

LDoes Globalization Affect Growth? Axel Dreher§ First version: October 2002 This Version: January 2003 Abstract The paper presents an index of globalization covering its three main dimensions: economic integration‚ social integration‚ and political integration. Using panel data for 123 countries in 1970-2000 it is analyzed empirically whether the overall index of globalization as well as sub-indexes constructed to measure the single dimensions affect economic growth. The results show that

Caffeine...Does it truly affect the body? Everyday millions of Americans go through cups of coffee a day and most people don’t even know how it affects your body. I am one of those people and I have always wondered what caffeine does to my body. This topic interest me a lot because I drink coffee on a daily about 2 times a day and I want to know if there are any short term effects and long term effects and if I should be worried about drinking too many drinks with caffeine in them. I want to find

1) is that it is the simplest alcohol with a chain of one carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms attached. The characteristics of this simple alcohol are that it is a light‚ volatile‚ and flammable liquid with a unique odor very similar to ethanol. Unlike ethanol‚ methanol is a highly toxic chemical and should be used cautiously because it causes negative reactions when exposed to other reagents such as lead. Methanol
